I spoke with the CP, and I wouldn't count on any Beech Captains getting bypass pay besides the two aforementioned guys. According to him they are recieving it because of a serious of extenuating circumstances; cancelled class, base change, apartment lease expiration, etc... So there you have it, I'd suggest submitting a standing bid in the (SAAB) "Swedish Aerial A** Bomb" if you indeed want the privelege of drinking sodas from ITH-LGA or wherever your turd might flush ummm fly you to.
The whole situation is a bad deal, but not a whole lot that we can do it appears to me...Although, I did hear that ALB will REMAIN a Beech 1900 base UFN. Crews will be supporting the MDT operation with overnights there...At least the PVD overnight isn't too bad if you are an HYA bubba. Nice hotel with some cute Korean college girls working the front desk...Upgraded to a suite tonight!
